The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been thrown into mourning following the death of a member of the House of Representatives, Hassan Danjuma.
Danjuma, who represented the Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency, reportedly passed away on Friday after a brief illness.
A first-time legislator elected in 2023, he initially won his seat under the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) before later defecting to the ADC.
News of his death was confirmed on Saturday by Saifullahi Hassan, who shared the update via a Facebook post written in Hausa.
According to the statement, the late lawmaker was last seen in good condition earlier in the week when he attended a political meeting at the residence of former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, in Abuja.
The meeting was said to have focused on preparations for the upcoming ADC State Congress.
Danjuma was among a group of federal lawmakers from Kano State who chose not to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside Governor Abba Yusuf, instead maintaining political alignment with Kwankwaso.
